What can you throw away in a dumpster?

Hazardous waste can not be placed in the dumpster. This includes TV’s, monitors, fridges, paints, solvents, liquids or any asbestos. To dispose of any of these materials you need to contact your local county office. They will be able to provide you with a contact who can dispose of anything hazardous or not accepted in your dumpster (i.e. household garbage and food waste). There are also option for recycling those old appliances and electronics.  For information on Michigan's Electronic Waste Recycling, visit the Electronic Waste Takeback Program by clicking here.
